Traditional embroidery even for beginners

This charming project will easily teach you numerous embroidery stitches on our Farandole Bretonne fabric.
If you are new to embroidery, no need to panic! Not only do we show you how, but the printed fabric is a great base and any little mistakes will go unnoticed.

The embroidery threads and stitches used

We explain below how to embroider each of the characters step by step and which threads to use. All you have to do is click on the name of the stitch to view the corresponding video on our YouTube channel.
You can also click on pictures to enlarge.
Don’t hesitate to check out the video below which contains lots of close ups of the embroidery stitches.
We have given lots of advice to help you, but don’t hesitate to let your imagination run wild and add your own interpretations: the embroidery threads contained in this box will no doubt give you inspiration.

And when the embroidery is finished

We turned this finished project into a small rectangular cushion. However, the fabric swatch supplied is large enough for a bigger cushion or even a tote bag.
